I can also see retailers getting complaints about constant price increases; so this is a way to show that the retailer isn't really the one raising the price; it's the effect of the dollar.
We were so close to par for so long that I often have to do a double take when looking at US dollar prices. I'll see something in a Canadian store for $80, and see it online for $49.95 US, and at first think that I'm saving by buying it from the US retailer. Then I add in exchange and see the price is almost the same; if not better due to shipping costs.
